Walt Disney World has set opening dates for two new shows at Disney's Hollywood Studios, one themed to villains and the other to The Little Mermaid.

Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After and The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure both debut on 27 May at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida.


Starting with the new villains-themed production, this immersive stage show features Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent.

During the experience, these villains will "step into the spotlight to make their case about why they’ve been treated the most unfairly over the years", Disney said in a blog post.

"Step into this mysterious realm, where Disney’s most infamous baddies finally get their chance to share their side of the story," it added.

Unfairly Ever After is located at the Sunset Showcase and will be shown multiple times each day. Also, Sunset Showcase will feature a new stage with the latest technology.
